Abstract

The principal-agent theory has been successfully applied to the research of management of construction projects. It has focused on the relationship between the project owner as principal and the contractor as agent. Also, the relationship between the contractor as principal and subcontractors as agents has been explored. After introducing the literature in this field, this paper will present recent research into the relationship between the project owner’s and contractor’s project managers along the lines of the principal-agent theory. An exploratory survey was used at the first stage of research. After the exploratory survey, the Delphi method was employed for further exploration of the issues involved.
